Thread regarding Windstream Corp. layoffs

resignation notice required or not?

Given that typically a 2 week notice is given when resigning, does this still have weight in our current situation? If/when I do get a job offer, could I take some pto days and then resign when I come back? Not looking to 'stick it to management', and I know that HR has some archaic rules for being marked 'eligible for re-hire, but who gives a c-ap about re-hire at this time?

I would ask for serious responses and the 'derp, TT is a crook' crowd to stfu, but you all know how that will go.

I was an ex WIN employee who gave notice and left over a year ago. In hiring new team members where I now work we consider those who don't give notice to their old employer as questionable employees. Do what is right for you but understand other companies do consider your actions. Good luck.

This company doesn't give us any warning before outsourcing entire departments in secret. Why do we owe them 2 weeks notice?

I would say take all your pto now....all of it. Even if it is not accrued HR has a policy not to worry about it. If you plan on leaving go PTO happy and burn every hour you can. After what they did you don’t owe them anything. If your not going to use more tgan what is accrued you will get paid for those when you leave. Remember the Optional holiday, sick time and our new sanity day do not get paid if you leave. At a min you should take all the days that won’t get paid out.

I put in my 2 weeks notice in October. I was paid all my pto and vacation that I had left.

When I left last September I was paid the PTO I had accrued that had not been taken. That meant that while I had about 60 hours left to take if I had not left the company I was paid 24 hours that I had actually accrued. So if you leave early in the year you could end up owing them for vacation used not earned.

Also they require working 10 days prior to your last day with no PTO or holidays included.

Give them a 1 week notice because at this point it isn't going to make much of a difference. Jobs have been outsourced. The company lost a large lawsuit and was forced into bankruptcy. Nasdaq has also de-listed the company. If you find another job. and they have made an offer. Go for the new job, and to hell with the 2 week notice. We all have to look out for ourselves at this point.

I would play it safe and provide a 2 week notice.

Up to you but I wouldn't burn Bridges like another poster wrote. You'll put your direct managers in the worst position and they likely don't have any control over this mess. Upper management won't care one way or another unless you cross paths again.

If you can absolutely burn any and all PTO. None of it is paid out if you resigned even with a two week notice. As far as not being able to be re-hired... I wouldn't worry too much about that.
